I remember having had similar issues after upgrading to 20.04.
I don't remember which exact steps I took to resolve it. But it involved re-installing a few packages with
sudo apt-get --reinstall install PACKAGE_NAME

My guess back than was that something must have broken the packages during the upgrade.

Having written that, I'm not exactly sure what apt-get --reinstall involves. So you might want to backup your configuration files beforehand.

HTH,
